listen to the anthology version where He wants to kiss the policeman overthere ...(probably a guy)

Never heard anything other than this, even convinced many people these were the right lyrics. You can hear both and its so close, easily hear it wrong but once you know, you can still hear both, which isn't always the case.

It still sounds like that even after all these year of listening to it.
